And so I say – a poem by Adam Levon Brown

And so I say

 

Hypnotic transience

circulates through

the body of time

 

And so I say;

 

Dance with the bones

of your ancestors

until you join them

 

Hedonists sip on the

philosophical

 

And so I say;

 

Burn in the flames

and spread your ashes

to the edge of the world

 

 

Achilles is gone forever and

Sleep is the brother of death

 

and so I say;

 

Light your candles now

before dusk settles

on your eyes
